My mom made me this knitting bag a few years ago, but I gave it a little update the other day.
I told you to expect this applique design again. I cut out more leaves this time and I'm happy with the effect. This bag is the perfect size for a sock in progress and my wallet - what more does a girl need?
I'll tell you what a girl needs - a friend like Amy. Look at the beautiful scarf she made me.
I love it - the colors are absolutely perfect. How did she know I love that orangey-pinky-salmon color?
It's just perfect with my brown corduroy pea coat. Thank you so much Amy!
I've been working on a few other fall inspired accessories - check back tomorrow for a little tutorial. You can get a head start today by collecting a few acorns. Ahhh, gathering acorns - just one of the many things I adore about this time of year.
I heart fall.
the applique is fantastic. ( wheels turning now ) must be a pretty fabulous friend! the scarf is beautiful. and that fig looks great! i love fall too , really it's my favorite season . followed by spring!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love the change to the bag! The scarf looks a little like the one Andrea made for me, can't wait to see it in person.
ReplyDeleteI really love that applique pattern. So so cute.
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet way to update your bag! love your pattern...actually, love all things trees :)
ReplyDeletegreat shot of the fig, too! i think it would make adorable little notecards! valentines day, perhaps? ok, so my kids wouldn't be too fond of handing out fig cards on valentines day...that would be me. :)
Scarves and clogs and sweaters oh my! We're still in flip flops in these parts. Love your new scarf and bag!
ReplyDeleteyay for autumn!!!!
ReplyDeleteI heart figs... and new clogs.
ReplyDeleteOh, fall. I heart it too.
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so glad fall is here! That scarf is great! I can't wait to see the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that scarf! And your applique! I want to make a stencil of it so I can use it with my soleil paints!
ReplyDeleteYummy fig. My fig tree made two, they didn't ripen. Next year...
Aw, shucks. You are so welcome, dear heart. I am so pleased you like it. I thought of you while I put it together - a little history: the pink floral print was cut from an apron that used to belong to my Yaya (Greek grandma). She could cook and embroider and tat lace like no other - so be inspired.
ReplyDeleteoooooh the scarf is delish!
ReplyDeleteDang, more beautiful inspiration - the acorn cap, the applique! And love that fig. Worm composting, nature pictures. A bunny rabbit, what's not to love here.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun fall projects...both made and received. Wahoo fall!!! Good luck in the garden.
